“The rights of every man are diminished when the rights of one man are threatened”
— John F. Kennedy
Simplified Meaning:
When one person's rights are in danger, it affects everyone else's rights too. Think of it like a garden: if one flower is not getting enough sunlight or water, it won’t grow properly, and it's a sign that the garden as a whole isn't healthy. In the same way, if one person’s freedoms or fair treatment is at risk, it suggests that everyone’s freedoms and fairness are at risk. For example, if a worker in a company is not paid fairly, it could mean the company has unfair practices that might affect others too. Everyone in the company could end up working in a bad environment. This teaches us that we should care about justice and equality for everyone because it helps create a better, fairer society for all of us. So, we should always stand up against any injustice, not just for the person affected but for the good of the whole community.
